Art Asylum--It's a Crazy, Fun Place

I can venture to say many of you have NEVER been to a "shop" like this. It's call the "Texas Art Asylum"...and it's as crazy as it's name! It's a treasure trove of STUFF. People donate items but check out the website link at the bottom of this blog to see what they will and won't accept.

Ever had the urge to make a cigar box purse, or decoupage one to make a little alter...well this is THE place to find just the perfect box.

Old pictures galore......

Bottles of paint are next to the old trophies....so random!!!

And here is a crochet or knitter's dream......there are also fabric swatches, dress patterns....OH, the possibilities!

And my two lovely friends (you may recognize Susan A. and Reed from the Steam Punk Jewelry Class) tried on many hats until they found these two stylish ones.

What a terrific place! I could spend all day in there. It's great that things are being repurposed instead of trashed. Maybe some day I'll have a chance to visit; when I have a full wallett and empty SUV.

What a FUN store!! I have never heard of it and so I had to google direction. It is now on my list of places I must visit soon! You are one traveling gal! I am hoping to get to head to Roundtop in the fall. Thanx for stopping by earlier and I promise to visit again soon!
